Awards for Airport Technology Excellence 2025: HID Honored
In the ever-evolving world of air travel, HID, an ASSA ABLOY Group brand, continues to make strides in enhancing security and efficiency with its latest innovation - the BG100 Speedgate. This next-generation biometric eGate solution has recently been awarded in the Biometric Gate category and the Innovation Award at the 2025 Airport Technology Excellence Awards.
The BG100 Speedgate offers a faster, more secure, and frictionless airport passenger experience. By seamlessly integrating HID's Facepod and document reader with ASSA ABLOY's Speedgate, it streamlines identity verification, reducing dependency on staff at security lanes and boarding gates. This not only enables resource optimization and increased efficiency but also contributes to a more welcoming, accessible, and technologically advanced environment for travelers.
Lena Abdelahad, Senior Vice President of Biometric Identity Technologies at HID, is proud of delivering solutions that make travel safer, faster, and more intuitive. She emphasises HID's commitment to inclusivity and fairness in identity verification. The BG100 Speedgate's advanced camera system and algorithms, trained on ethically sourced datasets containing billions of images representing a wide range of ages, genders, races, and skin tones, ensure consistent accuracy across all demographic groups.
Passengers enroll once with the BG100 Speedgate by scanning their face, passport, and boarding pass. This one-time enrolment process simplifies the check-in process, making it more convenient for travelers.
HID's solutions meet regulatory and ethical standards, further bolstering the reputation of airports as modern gateways for travelers. As a global leader in powering the trusted identities of the world's people, places, and things, HID continues to set the bar high in the realm of identity verification and access management.
